The Tamil Nadu Film Producers Council (TFPC) and Outdoor Unit Association have combined to launch a Technician Union from today. Many members from the Technician Union of FEFSI (Film Employees Federation of South India) have broken away to join this new union.
Speaking about the launch, Actor Vishal, who is also the President of TFPC, said, "My best wishes for the Technician Union to function well. If anyone may face any problems or have any issues, they may come to me without hesitation. The TFPC is always with you."
Yesterday, the 23rd of October, an IT raid happened at Vishal Film Factory at about 2 PM. Sparking huge interest in the film fraternity and public alike, this issue was linked to Vishal criticizing BJP leader H Raja on account of his piracy in relation to Vijay's Mersal.
Answering questions posed by the press, Vishal stated, "I was in the shoot of Sandakozhi 2 when I was informed of this. It seems to be a TDS related issue."
On whether this could have been a consequence of his political enemies, he said, "I do not know if it is one. I made a justified statement about H Raja having pirated the movie Mersal, as it is a crime. If it as an act of vengeance, I will deal with it."
He also stated that he has been adhering to the taxing laws and that his hands are clean. Rather than concentrating on this issue, he pleaded to the press to look at the recent suicide by fire of a mother and her two children in a loan shark issue.
